My flower-dappled horse,
My furs worth a thousand,
Hand them to the boy to exchange for good wine,
And we\’ll drown away the woes of ten thousand generations!

乐府
杜甫
兵车行
车辚辚, 马萧萧,
行人弓箭各在腰。
耶娘妻子走相送, 尘埃不见咸阳桥。
牵衣顿足拦道哭, 哭声直上干云霄。
道旁过者问行人, 行人但云点行频。
或从十五北防河, 便至四十西营田。
去时里正与裹头, 归来头白还戍边。
边亭流血成海水, 武皇开边意未已。
君不闻, 汉家山东二百州,
千村万落生荆杞?
纵有健妇把锄犁, 禾生陇亩无东西。
况复秦兵耐苦战, 被驱不异犬与鸡。
长者虽有问, 役夫敢申恨;
且如今年冬, 未休关西卒。
县官急索租, 租税从何出?
信知生男恶, 反是生女好;
生女犹得嫁比邻, 生男埋没随百草。
君不见, 青海头,
古来白骨无人收?
新鬼烦冤旧鬼哭, 天阴雨湿声啾啾。

Folk-song-styled-verse
Du Fu
A SONG OF WAR-CHARIOTS
The war-chariots rattle,
The war-horses whinny.
Each man of you has a bow and a quiver at his belt.
Father, mother, son, wife, stare at you going,
Till dust shall have buried the bridge beyond Changan.
They run with you, crying, they tug at your sleeves,
And the sound of their sorrow goes up to the clouds;
And every time a bystander asks you a question,
You can only say to him that you have to go.
...We remember others at fifteen sent north to guard the river
And at forty sent west to cultivate the campfarms.
The mayor wound their turbans for them when they started out.
With their turbaned hair white now, they are still at the border,
At the border where the blood of men spills like the sea --
And still the heart of Emperor Wu is beating for war.
